A calm practice

It was calm, but I was feeling pretty tired by the end of it. Not many people came to the skill training practice today, and that might actually have something to do with it. Although I like to focus on my own stuff, having other people there can give me a small distraction when I need to take a little break. I was feeling mentally exhausted only halfway through my normal practice routine. Back-crosses are feeling better though, which is excellent. I wonder how long it will be until I can do them reliably. I am trying to get some variations on columns, carrying one, and machine/robot. If I can, I want to work some more hip-hop style movement into a few patterns, in preparation for the show. It was a good day outside of juggling too though: I got a bunch of organization work done on my thesis. Hopefully next practice I will have a bit more energy so that I can spend more time on the challenging tricks, like five balls and shoulder tosses.
